  • Title: The role of pre-contrast images in computed tomography of the kidney.
    Author: Engelstad BL, McClennan BL, Levitt RG, Stanley RJ, Sagel SS.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Jul; 136(1):153-5. PubMed ID: 7384491.
    Abstract:
    Abnormal CT scans of the kidney in 176 patients were reviewed to note the contribution of pre-contrast images to the final diagnosis. Pre-contrast images added useful information only when CT was used to detect renal calcification, hemorrhage, or contrast extravasation and need not be obtained routinely.
